Vincent van Gogh Paintings from Paris

Vincent van Gogh's Fishing in the Spring, the Pontde Clichy (Asnières) is an oil on canvas(19-1/4 x 22-3/4 inches) that is housed in theArt Institute of Chicago.

Vincent van Gogh completed Fishing in the Spring, the Pont de Clichy (Asnières) in 1887. The painting was created during regular trips to the Paris suburb of Asnières with fellow painters Paul Signac and Emile Bernard.

Van Gogh and his friends set up their easels in the park and along the riverbanks to catch the natural light. Van Gogh often built his composition up with color, as seen here.
